South Korea has been awesome. The food is amazing, and there are so many different things to do for people with all kinds of interests.
The school curriculum at Seoul's international schools is different here. For IB, I guess I can say that you need to be okay with writing a lot of essays and just writing in general if you want to do it. If you're willing to put in the work and not slack and always be on task, the multidisciplinary nature of it is really worth it.

As a member of the Community Service Club, I go to the English Teaching Center once a week and teach children how to speak English. I read English books to the children and translate the English language into the Korean language to help the children understand the stories and main themes of the books. After reading them books, I do activity games with them, such as Bingo and Word Searches. I learn a lot from this meaningful experience of teaching the children.

I am a high school student with innovative ideas and passionate dreams. I started to self-learn web-developing skills at an early age, managed to create my own tech blog in third grade, and launched my first personal website at an age of 9. After graduating from middle school, I spent one year in the US as an exchange student, becoming more independent, self-motivated, and innovative. While I had to deal with cultural shock and the language barrier, my passion was still burning. I shared my personal experience in my blog “Phil’s America Exchange Year”, and developed a mobile app for a better blog reading experience on mobile phones. I am a participant of many conferences such as Global Initiatives Symposium in Taiwan, I am also an active MUNer. I recently formed a school wide broadcast news station in my current high school. Being a high school student in Taiwan might be stressful, but my passion of fulfilling my dream makes everything possible. Just as the saying goes, “What the mind can conceive, humankind can achieve.”

My favorite hobby is crafting, and there are many reasons behind it. First of all, crafting was the first activity that I actually enjoyed. It was so enjoyable to me, that it never got boring even after hours of restless work. Whenever I successfully craft something, I am able to learn new techniques, which eventually improve my skills. As I got better at crafting, more opportunities opened, and this cycle of unlocking opportunities made me endlessly interested in this hobby.

The
Odyssey
was a very challenging play for a cast of high school students like me.Its various spectacular events required most
of us to play multiple roles and form ensembles to portray this great epic. Due
to the grandness of the tale as well as its mythical aspects it made all of us
reach out to the deepest ends of our creativity, endurance, and collaboration.
As a senior it was a time of conflict as I realized that there were no longer
other people to rely on but with more people relying on me. I always tried to
give my best in hopes that others would follow my example. Although it was
definitely not easy for me there certainly was an effect on the other cast
members, which drove me to continue. Because it was such a massive challenge to
us as a group and as individuals, when we fought through together and pulled it
off, the sense of accomplishment and bonding we experienced could not have been
greater. Now I can proudly say I took part in delivering The Odyssey, one of the most well known western tales ever, with a
group of amazing people in the form of an incredible play. It was truly an
unforgettable experience with so much to take away from and I am glad I
persevered until the end.

As a newcomer to the world of cheerleading, I am very excited and thankful to be part of the team. Initially, I was too shy to tryout, but as a senior, I did not want to leave high school with any regrets. This year's team consists of a good blend between returning and new members. The team looks amazing; though we only had one practice, everyone is very talented and skilled!Our first meeting was only a conditioning session where the captains designed a workout to assess our current strengths. It was pretty intense and if you ask the others they can attest to some sore muscles. I hope to be a great team member while learning new skills and bonding with the new team. The season does not start until November but we are scheduled for a couple more practices this month to prepare us for sideline cheering and the halftime performance. While I am nervous for the season, I cannot wait for the season to officially start and cheer on our school during their basketball games. GO GUARDIANS!

“My favorite school subject would definitely be Chemistry,
but then again I also like Biology. I like both of these classes because I want
to have a career involved with the two by incorporating how chemistry works on
the human body. For example, health care is a field I am looking to go into.”

Chuseok, a holiday that brings families together to celebrate and respect ancestors, just passed. However, as a Korean-American living in Virginia my family rarely gathers to celebrate. Instead, we get together in November and celebrate Thanksgiving.
